It flies under the radar because it is overwhelmed by the sheer repulsiveness of the physical destruction of the east wing, but there is no way that a president should be allowed to use private money to change public property. It circumvents the power of the purse.

I agree with this. There are a lot of people out there who think both parties are the same and if Democrats put a show of pushing out people with Nazi tattoos and shitty text messages and abused employees then all of a sudden you're making inroads.

The inflatable costume thing with the protesters is really good because it renders the body armor/CoD weaponry aesthetic of the ICE Nazis even more ridiculous than it already was. Suiting up like Rambo to face down a dancing frog. No coming back from that

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Find a No Kings protest Saturday and go! Don't worry that you've never been to a protest before. Don't worry about being dressed wrong or looking out of place. Don't worry that you don't agree about everything -- or even about much -- with lots of people at the protest. /1

Wikipedia, while not perfect, is truly one of the best things on the web. Donate a little bit to them, even just a few dollars, because we can't allow it to become obsolete in favor of AI answers.

Feels quaint, almost cliché, to say this about a Trump action, but just for the record: This is all illegal, the President can't simply disregard the laws passed and agencies created by Congress, and both Vought & Trump would be impeached if the Constitution or the rule of law mattered to the GOP.

This is not what Nancy Pelosi meant, and is in fact EXACTLY THE FUCKING OPPOSITE of what she meant. When Pelosi said that, she meant "strong" in the sense of actually being resistant to exactly this shit so that when they inevitably sometimes win they aren't literally electing Hitler.
